We Need You – Join the PTSA Board

Our PTSA is still looking for some roles to be filled for next year’s board. Our highest priority is to find a President. Without a president, we don’t have a PTSA. The role of a president may seem huge but if you like being a leader, this may be the role for you. There is training to learn the official PTSA stuff and lots of other board members who will be there for support and guidance. The president position can also be filled with 2 people as Co-Presidents.

If you don’t think president is right for you, we are also looking for a Co-Treasurer, Family and Community Engagement VP, and a Membership Chair. We have a membership meeting in June and we would love to get you elected. If you are interested in joining our PTSA in any of these roles or would like more information, please contact nominations@redmondhsptsa.org.

For those seniors that are attending our Grad Night Celebration, bus signups begin tomorrow evening (Monday, June 3) and you will not be able to sign up if your paperwork has not been turned in. If you would like to be on a bus with your friends, make sure the paperwork has been submitted by 3:30pm tomorrow to give you the first chance to choose a bus.

Forms can be found on our website. Everyone needs to fill out the Senior Release Form and the Senior Contact Information. If you have a serious health issue, you also need to fill out the Emergency Care Form. Forms can be scanned and emailed to GradNight@redmondhsptsa.org or return them to the PTSA mailbox on the wall outside the counseling office.

Freshman, Sophomore and Junior parents, we need your help to make our Grad Night Celebration a great success!

When it is your child's turn to celebrate with their graduating class, they may not want you at the party, plus as a senior parent, you'll be ready for a break! So why not volunteer this year on Thursday, June 13 to help RHS's 2024 graduating seniors enjoy a safe, substance-free night to remember. Loads of food, fun activities, and luxury coaches await the seniors, and our parent volunteers make it ALL happen. It is a great way to pay-it-forward and get a sneak peek into what Grad Night Celebration is all about! All volunteers must be LWSD approved.

Sign up here.
